Assignment 2.4 Silk Road Trivia Quiz 10 points      Pace yourself - turn in two assignments /week. Due 10/20 (11:45 pm) for full credit  

This week you will watch a video by a an interesting and rather irreverant speaker!  The award winning author, John Green (Looking for Alaska, Fault in our Stars) is going to give you a crash course in the Silk Road that connected China to the West.  So many of the influences that came into China over the centuries came via this route. Your assignment this week is to click on the map and watch this 10 minute video about the Silk Road.  (Be sure to watch the entire video - there are some annoying commercials that you may have to  skip through). After watching the video, head to our Moodle page - Assignment 2.4 -  to take a Silk Road trivia quiz.  All of the information in the quiz is taken directly from this video so you will probably want to take it as soon as you watch the video so the information will be fresh in your mind!

 I will accept late assignments for Unit Two until 11:45 pm on Sunday, Oct. 27th with a late penalty/late assignment. The Unit closes on 10/27
